Postal Code System of Anguilla

With the help of Google Maps API, Anguilla now can directly use
the Global Postal Code Systemtm.
On the following NAC Enhanced Google Maps, almost everybody in Anguilla can find the Global Postal Code (i.e.
the Universal Address) of their house or building through a few steps of panning/zooming/clicking the high
resolution satellite image map. You can use either an eight character code (the blue rectangular area after you click your home on the map)
if it can already uniquely identify your house/building, otherwise a ten character code (the blue drop location identifying
roughly every square meter on the earth surface) as your Global Postal Code. With the Global Postal Code,
all mail can be sorted from the world level to the final mailboxes automatically on all mail sorting equipment
provided that the mail sorting equipment has installed a Global Postal Code based mail sorting program. For
information about such mail sorting software, please contact NAC Geographic Products Inc.

Use Global Postal Code
When you write a letter, you can add the Global Postal Code as part of the mailing address such as:

That is, at the bottom of the current mailing address, add an extra line starting with
"NAC: " followed by the Global Postal Code. If a sorting machine knows the code, it can use
the code to sort your mail automatically for either local or international delivery.
Therefore, people can start using the code on mail now without the need to wait until all
mail sorting equipment is able to sort mail based on the Global Postal Code.

Get Global Postal Code
Use the mouse to pan/zoom the map to the area and click a location to get its NAC on the top
of the map. You can also input a street address and click "Get Map" which will show the NAC on the map.
Note, country name if other than US is required in the address. Currently, it supports addresses from
Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Spain, United States and many other countries.

Postal codes were first introduced in Germany in 1941, followed by Argentina in 1958, United Kingdom
in 1959 and United States in 1963. Now there are more than 117 countries in the world having their own
postal code systems. The purpose of postal codes is to sort mail more efficiently, reliably and
automatically. But the great potential of postal codes has not been liberated yet. First, most postal
codes are not assigned to the final mail boxes so that all mail still requires manual work to sort
to the final mail boxes. On the other hand, as the world is getting more globalized and the volume of
international mail is increasing rapidly, national postal codes can't help automatical mail sorting and
all international mail is still mainly being sorted manually which is a practice too expensive to continue.

Therefore, a stable, politically neutral and language independent global postal code system with a complete
coverage of all areas in the world and unlimited number of codes to customize to new development and
redevelopment of populated areas is urgently demanded, which leads to the birth of
the Natural Area Coding System
(the Global Postal Code System, the Universal Address System, the Universal Map Grids System
and the Universal Property Identifier System). The new system unifies all the representations of geographic
coordinates, area codes, addresses, postal codes, map grids and property identifiers in the world and makes
all geographic products and services directly related and their information easily exchanged. It can be used
not only for both national and internation postal services, but also for couriers, taxis, emergency services,
online location based services, GPS navigation systems, geographic information systems, and many others.

Now all countries no matter whether they have their own postal code systems can directly use the Global
Postal Code System to sort all mail automatically. Countries without national postal code systems may feel
comfortable in adopting the Global Postal Code System and skip the stage for using national postal code
systems.
